Description:
Hello, I'd like to submit a feature request to allow using ssh-agent for connecting to remote servers through ssh tunnels.

The motivation behind this is that I use 1Password to store my SSH keys, which has a built-in ssh-agent. Therefore I no longer have my SSH private keys physically stored on disk and thus cannot select it in the SSH Tunnel menu.

I believe this feature could also make the VSCode extension more versatile for other developer's setups too.

How to repeat:
N/A

Suggested fix:
Support just using standard SSH without requiring a private key. Developers usually have their environments set to how it is convenient for them. It could also eliminate the need to enter a password as well if their key is already stored in an active ssh-agent session.
